I recently spoke with a friend in Chicago. It was well below zero and she said everyone at her kids' school seemed to be driving them. The line to drop off was over two blocks long. That same day down here in Louisiana it was t-shirt weather. Today it is in the 50s, but it was in the 70's yesterday--during the rain.

Reside in Northwestern WI., and the temps here this morning are a balmy -13 with wind chill at -35. Its great swimsuit/tanning weather, dont you think?? LOL. Madison,WI., our capital has a total of 27 inches of snow,received in just a couple of days. The interstate was shut down for over 10 hrs stranding almost 2000 travelers due to slick roads and semi trucks not being able to move.Yes, Its just great living in Gods' Country, who else would want it!
